Brigtsen's, Bayona and Galatoires
A Trifecta
First night was Bayona. Great duck served outside in a very nice courtyard. Excellent food and great, unhurried service. It was nice to see Chef Spicer in the dining room, in her whites, talking with guests. What a concept! A chef actually in residence in her restaurant
Night Two was Galatoire's. Shrimp remoulade, crawfish etouffee, bread pudding and cafe brulot (complete with tableside prep show). I love that room. My sources tell me that this is one of the few Name restaurants in New Orleans that locals still patronize.
Night Three = Brigtsen's in the Uptown/Riverbend area. Great funky little rooms in what looks to have been a private home. Rabbit and sausage gumbo, paneed rabbit (tastes like chicken :-)) Service was a little iffy, we waited a while for our menus and stared at our finished plates for a bit too long, but the food was great
By Night Four I couldn't stand the thought of another linen table cloth so we ate oysters and boiled shrimp at some noname place on Burbon Street (The Acme Oyster Bar was closed for Mother's Day). Sat in a table along the street and watched the freak show stroll by. What a hoot
And because I am concerned about my weight and overall health, I only had Cafe and Beignets for breakfast twice at Cafe du Monde! They had to put me back on the plane with a forklift :-
